One thing that all photographers have to do is to obtain and store model releases. Easy Release makes that chore a easier.

Easy Release was designed by a professional photographer to replace paper model releases. It comes with pre-bundled, industry-standard model and property releases in 13 languages. The legal text is customizable so you can either use it “as is” or customize it to your own needs. (Note: The app is approved for use by Getty Images.)

App Review: Tiny Flashlight

The great thing about the iPhone 4 and 4s is the fact it carries a nice little LED Flash. However it’s very rare that it gets used, unless doing a lot of indoor photography. Even then, the flash is rarely called upon.

Can't count how many music player alternatives I have tried over the years (have to take off my shoes for sure). Suffice to say, I can't really say any jumped out and made me go, "THAT'S IT!"--like Charlie Brown's epiphany when Lucy tells him he has the fear of everything. Wall of Sound didn't really make me do that, except maybe a little bit. Then it had a couple of glitches, so I calmed down. Still, it is pretty well done for a freebie, and provides a unique way to find and play tunes...

If you're an app developer, as I am, once you start to get a decent amount of sales, you start looking for a way to track those sales so you can do some analysis. For a long time, I tried various web services. They had a nice advantage as they automatically downloaded your sales reports and created charts, without your having to do anything. But if you have a lot of apps, as I do, web services can be expensive, as they typically charge per month and per app... even for free ones. So a friend told me about AppViz from IdeaSwarm, and I've been using it every day for a couple of years now.

MG Siegler writes on parislemon.com that a native iOS app for Gmail may be just around the corner. As a die hard Gmail user this is great news to me.

I've been using Gmail from the very beginning when it was invite only. It turned my entire email experience upside down with 1GB storage, threaded conversations, and a rich interface accessible anywhere you had a browser and internet. I can't imagine ever going back to another email provider, either on the desktop or a webmail provider.

Today, I've helped a friend restore some contacts onto his iPhone. As the experience I gathered may be useful to you as well, I let you know.

First, on my Mac, while I had the contacts in the Windows version of Microsoft Outlook 2010 under Parallels Desktop, I had iTunes solely under my Mac OS X and didn't want to install it under Parallels to keep the Parallels image size down. (Which is of paramount importance when you use Time Machine to back up the contents of your computer, including the disk images of your Parallels virtual machines and want to save as much storage as possible.) After all, there are only two cases when it's indeed worth having iTunes in your virtual machine if you, otherwise, use the OS X version to synchronize your iOS devices:

I have been impressed with Glasshouse Apps' Early Edition RSS reader since it was released well over a year ago. Since then, Glasshouse has been busy refining their flagship application to be as iOS fluid-friendly as possible. Their results have culminated in their next generation RSS reader, Early Edition 2. Is it worth the new purchase price? Read on to find out.

I have enjoyed blogging for many years. I think most most people will agree with this statement. Most people's first website is a blog or a static site built on the wordpress frame. I started my adventure blogging before the ipad was developed. I am always looking for ways to improve my sites or blog. Today we are moving toward icloud development and more people are using the ipad and tablets. This seems to be the trend we are in now. Therefore, I believe developers are starting to develop more applications to fit this style.

FaceTime is a great tool for staying in touch with friends and family in a way that not only allows you to hear their voice, but also to see them and their environment. There's nothing better than being able to see loved ones in real time even if they're on the other side of the world. When my sister was living in Korea, my kids really enjoyed using FaceTime on my iPhone to see and speak to her, and get little tours of places she saw every day that were completely novel to us. While using FaceTime on iPhone is a convenient and fun way to stay in touch, there are times when you may need to mute the audio or flip the video so that every detail of life isn't available to your FaceTime buddy. Whether you need to take a moment to get out of a crowded, loud area, or for any number of other reasons, you may want to mute your FaceTime call or reverse the view on your FaceTime call. Let's get started learning how!

Here's a tip that you might not use too often, but that's useful to have if you have to get through an audiobook quickly, say, for a class or work assignment. Did you know that you can speed up the playback tempo in your Audible app on iPhone? You can also slow down the narration speed, although I've never needed to use that feature. Read on to learn how to speed up or slow down the narration speed in the Audible app on your iPhone.
